  2. Frequency format hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_format_hypothesis

    The frequency format hypothesis is the idea that the brain understands and processes information better when presented in frequency formats rather than a numerical or probability format. Thus according to the hypothesis, presenting information as 1 in 5 people rather than 20% leads to better comprehension.

  3. Methods used to study memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_used_to_study_memory

    To reduce memory and learning to its genetic basis, mice can be genetically modified and studied. [22] [35] Generally animal studies depend on the principles of positive reinforcement, aversion techniques and Pavlovian conditioning. This type of research is extremely useful and has shed much light on learning and memory in humans.

  4. Statistical learning in language acquisition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_learning_in...

    Statistical learning is the ability for humans and other animals to extract statistical regularities from the world around them to learn about the environment. Although statistical learning is now thought to be a generalized learning mechanism, the phenomenon was first identified in human infant language acquisition.

  5. Theories of second-language acquisition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theories_of_second...

    Connectionism attempts to model the cognitive language processing of the human brain, using computer architectures that make associations between elements of language, based on frequency of co-occurrence in the language input. [26] Frequency has been found to be a factor in various linguistic domains of language learning. [27]

  6. Theta wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta_wave

    Theta oscillations, typically defined within the frequency range of 4–7 Hz, play a significant role in various cognitive processes, including learning and cognitive control. Research has shown that these oscillations are closely associated with memory encoding and retrieval, emotional regulation, and the maintenance of cognitive tasks.

  7. Frequency (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_(statistics)

    A frequency distribution shows a summarized grouping of data divided into mutually exclusive classes and the number of occurrences in a class. It is a way of showing unorganized data notably to show results of an election, income of people for a certain region, sales of a product within a certain period, student loan amounts of graduates, etc.

  8. Memory and retention in learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_and_Retention_in...

    Sensory memory is thought of as a process of perception provided by the human senses. [2] Sensory memory retains the information perfectly and accurately for a few hundred milliseconds. [ 2 ] As the retention of information only lasts for such a short amount of time, this type of memory is often thought of as being a part of the process of ...

  9. Brainwave entrainment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainwave_entrainment

    Brainwave entrainment is a colloquialism for 'neural entrainment', [25] which is a term used to denote the way in which the aggregate frequency of oscillations produced by the synchronous electrical activity in ensembles of cortical neurons can adjust to synchronize with the periodic vibration of external stimuli, such as a sustained acoustic ...
